News Corp.’s Rebekah Brooks to Be Charged with “Conspiracy to Pervert the Course of Justice”

Notorious ginger editrix Rebekah Brooks will be charged with three counts of “conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.” Running that phrase through Google Translate, we see its American-English translation is: “obstruction of justice, oy mate, did you see Man City’s bloody brilliant win?” (Google Translate appears to be momentarily broken.)

The Guardianreports that Brooks is suspected of “[removing] material, documents and computers to hide them from officers investigating phone hacking. The charge carries a maximum penalty of life, although the average term served in prison is 10 months.” Brooks and her beta-male equestrian husband Charlie have already released a statement in which they disagreed with the “weak and unjust” ruling.
